Chapter 107 Delicious Mushroom Hot Pot

Leaving the riverbank, Ange led Snorlax, Ember Spirit, Diancie, Metagross, and Buppu to the fishing grounds.

He wanted to go and check on the condition of the light cod.

Throughout the journey, the little Snorlax held onto Anja's hand tightly, refusing to let go, as if afraid that if it did, its master would run away.

Its paws were dirty from working, but Anjie didn't mind and let it hold them.

The lizard, beaming with excitement, recounted to Anjie the events that had transpired at home and its outstanding performance at the Snorlax's house.

Anjie listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with a few earnest words. With Anjie's approval, the lizard became as happy as a little bird, hopping and skipping around in front of it.

When it sees wildflowers blooming along the way, it will rush over and pick one to give to Anjie.

Soon Anjie and his group arrived at the fishing grounds.

Because the Mosquito Coil Tadpole, Mosquito Coil Man, and Mosquito Coil Swimmer had all gone to help plant trees, the fish farm was very quiet at this time.

Anjie walked to the edge of the fish farm and suddenly saw a purplish-red blade break through the calm lake surface, followed by a second, a third, a fourth... They moved quickly and approached the lake shore.

Seemingly startled, the fish raised in the fish farm jumped out of the water one after another.

As the blade approached the lake shore, one after another, light cod surfaced, having sensed Angie's arrival and come to greet him.

Anjie looked at the leader of the Light Cod and asked, "Are you helping the Mosquito Tadpoles guard the fishing grounds?"

"Feeding~"

The leader of the light cod nodded.

Each time the mosquito tadpoles help plant trees, the light-bodied cod will watch over the fish farm for a period of time. Most of the time, the light-bodied cod will roam in the vast Lake Nebel, swimming and competing freely to hone their skills and strengthen their spirit.

"Thank you for your hard work." Anjie patted the head of the Light Cod leader.

"Hee-ru~ Hee-ru~"

The leader of the light cod shook his head, indicating that it wasn't hard work.

Anjie's gaze swept over the twenty or so light cod, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Have you... gotten fatter?"

The light cod were taken aback by this. They looked at each other, and it seemed that they had really gotten a lot fatter!

Upon realizing the problem, they all panicked.

That shouldn't be! They train hard every day, honing not only their minds but also their bodies. They just handed over their excess fat to Diancie two days ago, so how come they've gotten fat again now?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

At this moment, Diancie spoke up: "You guys are eating too much every day! The amount of exercise you're doing is far from enough."

The light cod looked puzzled. Is that so?

However, after they arrived at the Nibel Plateau, they did eat a lot every day. There was no way around it; the food here was just too delicious!

"Of course!" Diancie suddenly said with a stern face, "Starting tomorrow, I'll be creating a new trainer plan for you. You'll need to increase your training intensity!"

At this moment, Ange seemed to see in Tianxi the devilish coach form that it only had in the cooking training room.

"Hee-ru~ Hee-ru~"

The light-bodied cod trusted Diancie's words completely and agreed to her proposal.

"Very well, now hand over all your excess fat," Tianxi said again.

As Diancie finished speaking, the slender cod quickly shook their bodies, and the next second, pieces of snow-white fish meat fell onto the shore.

Tianxi calmly put the fish pieces away one by one.

Anjie was dumbfounded.

"Tianshi, why do I get the feeling you're a bit like a capitalist?"

Upon hearing this, Tianxi angrily slapped Ange, "Stop talking nonsense! What I've done wasn't for the good of the 'Light Cod'?"

Anjie thought about it and agreed. Whether it was strengthening the light cod's training or helping them shed excess fat, it would be beneficial for the light cod.

But he always felt that something was off.

Without much thought, Anjie's gaze fell on the group of light-bodied cod, where he saw carp, pufferfish, goldfish, and goldfish mixed in.

Anjie asked with a smile, "Why are you with the light-colored cod?"

Magikarp and Feebas stared blankly, not answering Angie, just quietly blowing bubbles.

At this moment, a goldfish king swam forward and answered:

"Mmm~ Mmm~" Training! Training! Let's do it together!

Anjie immediately understood what it meant, and praised it, "Good job, you have ambition, keep it up."

Praised by Anjie, the goldfish and the king goldfish swam around happily, and even the carp king and the pufferfish showed a slight reaction.

The light-bodied cod looked at this with disdain.

The leader of the light cod said, "Feed them~ Feed them~" They're too weak!

Anjie clasped his hands together and said, "Light Cod, please train them together!" It was rare for even Magikarp and Feebas to be motivated, and Anjie didn't want to disappoint them.

Since Anjie had said so, the leader of the Light Cod reluctantly agreed: "Feed him~" Okay!

After chatting with the slender cod for a while about their recent lives, Angie said, "Alright, you guys go back to your training!"

The light-bodied cod nodded in agreement, and one by one they dived into the water, followed closely by the Magikarp, Feebas, Goldfish, and Kingfish.

Watching the light-bodied cod disappear into the water, Ange said to Tianxi and the others, "Let's go home and get ready for a big meal tonight."

"Gang~~"

"Chirp~"

"Cloth~"

Upon hearing this, Snorlax, Ember, and Bulbasaur were the first to run home.

Anja, along with Diancie and Metagross, strolled leisurely home.

As the sun set and the sky was ablaze with the colors of the sunset, Ange and Diancie strolled on the grass. The glow of the sunset cast a soft light on their faces, and they were completely immersed in this peaceful and serene moment.

Halfway there, Anjie and Tianxi saw two Charcoal Servant riding back on a Fragrant Piglet, chasing each other as if playing some game, their laughter echoing across the grassland.

"Charcoal Spoon! Fragrant Pork!" Angie waved to the four Pokémon from afar.

Upon hearing Anjie's call, the two fragrant pigs immediately carried Tan Xiaoshi on their backs and excitedly rushed towards Anjie.

"Cough cough~"

"Cough cough~"

As the four Pokémon approached, Angel discovered that each of the two Charizard Pokémon was carrying a bundle on its back that was larger than its own body.

Not only that, the four Pokémon were also filthy, as if they had rolled around in a garbage dump.

"Where have you been?" Angie asked, puzzled. "I heard from Tianxi that you've been leaving early and coming back late every day lately. What have you been doing?"

Upon hearing Anjie's question, the two fragrant hogs proudly puffed out their chests, their faces showing a rather smug expression.

However, the female fragrant porcupine's sudden movement caused the unsteady, crying little servant Tanji to fall off its back, and the bundle on its back also came apart.

The crybaby pouted, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

Seeing this, the obedient Tan Xiaoshi quickly got off the male Fragrant Pig with his bundle on his back and ran to the crybaby Tan Xiaoshi's side.

"Clatter~ Clatter~"

The obedient Tan Shi hugged the crybaby Tan Shi and gently patted its back, finally making the crybaby Tan Shi hold back its tears.

Anjie was stunned by the bundle scattered by the crybaby Tan Xiaoshi, which was filled with all kinds of mushrooms.

"Did you pick all of these?" Anjie squatted down and picked up a mushroom, asking.

"Cough cough~"

"Cough cough~"

The two fragrant pigs nodded repeatedly.

The fragrant dolphins' keen sense of smell can easily distinguish which ingredients are edible and which are not, so the mushrooms they collect are safe to eat without worrying about spoilage.

"Have you been busy with this lately, leaving early and returning late every day?" Anjie asked in surprise.

"Cough cough~"

"Cough cough~"

"Clatter~"

"Clatter~"

All four Pokémon nodded at the same time.

After arriving at the Nibel Plateau, the four Pokémon discovered that everyone here had their own role and could help Angel in various ways, but they seemed to know nothing.

When Tan Xiaoshi was in Zone Zero, he could help Anjie cook, but when they arrived at Nibel Plateau, Anjie's house had all kinds of cooking utensils, so he didn't need them at all.

So the four Pokémon put their heads together and decided to go out and find ingredients for Angel.

Anjie is a chef, so she definitely needs all sorts of special ingredients.

After the four Pokémon chattered on, Angel learned that they had been to the mountains in the northwest and the forest in the east in the past few days.

Some time ago, they only went to check out the environment of those two places, and only today did they officially start collecting ingredients.

Gathering ingredients in the wild is not easy.

While exploring the mountains to the northwest, they were chased by swarms of bees and ambushed by flocks of jays... In the forests to the east, they accidentally provoked a circle bear and were chased for two miles; they were also beaten black and blue by acorns and cunning tengu for mistakenly picking fruit that belonged to someone else...

In short, every day's adventure is very exciting.

After listening to the four Pokémon's story, Diancie suddenly realized why they were always covered in injuries. When she asked why, the four Pokémon remained mysterious and refused to tell her.

Anjie said with emotion, "Actually, you don't need to work so hard. I can find you easier jobs."

Anjac wouldn't casually say "I'll take care of you." He could certainly afford to, but he hoped that every Pokémon around him could find a job that suited them and made them happy.

However, both fragrant pigs and both charcoal servants shook their heads in unison.

Although going out to explore and find food is hard work and may even be dangerous, they enjoy it and feel that every day is fulfilling.

After a thrilling day of adventure, there's a place waiting for them, where delicious food will be prepared for them—there's nothing happier than that.

Even the crybaby Tan Xiaoshi expressed his determination to An Jie with a firm expression.

Seeing the four Pokémon's firm stance, Ange had no choice but to agree.

"But you must be careful when you go out in the future. Don't provoke those powerful Pokémon, and don't touch things that belong to someone else."

"Cough cough~~"

"Clatter~~"

The four Pokémon squinted and nodded.

Anjie reached out and picked up the bundles of the two charcoal servants, waving his hand and saying, "Let's go home. Since you've picked so many mushrooms, we'll have a mushroom hot pot tonight."

Upon hearing this, Piaoxiangtun and Tanxiaoshi couldn't wait to run home.

After arriving home, Anjie first gave the dirty little Snorlax and the Ember Spirit a bath, and then busied herself with preparing dinner. Since it wasn't the first time she had prepared hot pot, they were much faster this time, and soon a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Two fragrant pigs and Charcoal Boy were drooling at the door, while Diancie took Metagross and Bup to arrange accommodations.

There are many rooms on the third floor of Ange's house, so there is no problem with not having a place to stay. Diancie arranged for Bup to be next to the lizard, and Metagross to be next to Ange.

Now Angel's room is surrounded by people. To the right is Snorlax, to the left is Metagross, opposite is Lizard, and diagonally opposite to both sides are Diancie and Buppu.

When the base ingredients were almost ready and the food was almost prepared, the Pokémon returned in twos and threes. They sat around the table in the square, looking on with anticipation as they waited for the delicious food that Angel had mentioned.

When Diancie came downstairs with Bup and Metagross, Ange said to her, "Dianci, move the food outside, it's ready to eat!"

"Okay!" Diancie responded, taking the ingredients from the Snorlax and carrying them out one by one.

Seeing this, Metagross controlled Robert 2 to go forward and help, but it was too big to squeeze into the kitchen.

"Bu~Bu~"

Bubo excitedly tried to squeeze into the kitchen, but was grabbed by the scruff of his neck and thrown out by the lizard.

"Chirp~ Chirp~" Just wait quietly for your food, don't come in and cause trouble.

Bu Bo: (`^)

When Diancie returned to the kitchen, Gardevoir, Gallade, Ralts, Meowth, and Meowth followed her in to help.

Today, Anjie prepared a lot of hot pot ingredients, including not only the light cod meat that was just harvested today, but also many other ingredients he purchased from Zhuotai City.

With the addition of fresh vegetables picked from their own garden, tonight's dinner is going to be very lavish, and even Anjie herself is looking forward to it.

Furthermore, Anjie followed the instructions in the "Waveguide Culinary Skills Manual" and used a waveguide to process the ingredients.

I don't know how effective it will be.

With Gardevoir's help, all the tables outside were soon filled with various ingredients, and the hot pot in the middle was bubbling away, emitting a rich aroma that made the Pokémon's mouths water.

However, they don't know how to eat it, since it's all raw.

At this point, the experienced Bubo started jumping around and explaining how to eat it, but unfortunately it was incoherent and no one understood it at all.

Fortunately, Samurai and Metagross were reliable, and with the explanations from Diancie, Snorlax, and Lizard, the group quickly started eating enthusiastically.

The moment the food entered their mouths, all the Pokémon immediately realized that today's dinner was different; it was an indescribable feeling.

The flavors of the food blended together, creating a harmonious balance and texture between the ingredients—something that had never happened before.

Anjie herself also noticed the difference.

The ingredients are the same, and the cooking method hasn't changed, but the taste is just different.

Is this the effect of waveguide processing of food?

Anjie could hardly believe that the food was made by her own hands.

too delicious!

Anjie was certain that her skills surpassed those of her grandfather (in her previous life)!

I recommend the new Pokémon book, "From Startup Center to Pokémon Business Tycoon".
